Editorial Reviews

Peter Brooks

Mr. Barnes hasn't written this novel directly or simply. Rather, he has appropriately given us the story of an obsession with Flaubert. The result is a splendid hybrid of a novel, part biography, part fiction, part literary criticism, the whole carried off with great bio. Flaubert's Parrot' is high literary entertainment. -- New York Times

Christopher Lehmann-Haupt

"Witty and dazzeling!" -- The New York Times

From the Publisher

A high literary entertainment carried off with great brio.... rich in parody and parrotry, full of insight and wit ... a great success.” —The New York Times Book Review

AudioFile

With his customary grace and dry British wit, Simon Vance matches the tone and tenor of this decidedly erudite and playfully imaginative literary biography…Sounding like a gentleman holding court in his drawing room, Vance introduces listeners to Flaubert’s life…the way a good biography should sound. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
